Motion passed.
BUSINESS ITEMS
Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
Ms. Hynden stated that after the MLK Celebration this year Ron Walker stepped down as the Chair of the MLK
Celebration Committee. He had been involved with the committee for ten years. When he stepped down, the MLK
Celebration Committee dissolved. The role of the Diversity Commission has been to offer support with funds and
volunteering. It was the MLK Celebration Committee that put the event on every year. The Diversity Commission
put together a sub group to explore whether or not they would have the momentum, the manpower and the funds to
put together the event. The sub -committee met for several months. A lot of time and effort went into fundraising by
the MLK Celebration Committee. The student forum was $4000, student scholarships were $5000 and the event
itself was $3000. There were also in kind services; the school district provided the facility, buses to transport the
students, and janitorial services. The Diversity Commissions yearly budget is $4000, and they have been giving the
MLK Celebration Committee $1500. The Commissions recommendation is to continue their participation in a
supporting role of the MLK Celebration should another private entity show interest and take the lead in organizing
the event, including fundraising. The Diversity Commission would also like to work jointly with the Arts
Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission to preserve the MLK Celebration artifacts. They would like
to have the Community Flame on display more than just once a year. Council member Burbidge stated that she was
a volunteer for the event when it first started. At that time it was not connected with the Diversity Commission, it
was a separate group that put on the first Celebrations. There were not any student forums_ There were essay
contests and poster contests. There was some fundraising that occurred. It was a more compact event and it was less
expensive. Ms. Hynden stated that it was very difficult to raise money this past year. Many of the donors said that
they would not be donating to the event next year_ Council member Park was also a volunteer when the event first
started, and at that time there were between 10-15 citizen volunteers. Ms. Hynden stated that no one previously
involved with the event has offered to take on a leadership role. Council member Ferrell stated that he will not
approve a work plan that does not include the MLK Celebration. He feels that it is a very important event for the
Community, and we need to figure out how to get it done. Council member Kochmar suggested scaling back the
event, and finding someone that would be willing to chair it again. Council member Park stated that he believes the
Diversity Commission did not want to walk away from the event, that they want to work on the event, but not be the

main group that organizes the event. The Diversity Commission is not able to fundraise. Council member Ferrell
suggested forming an ad hoc committee. Interim City Manager Wilson stated that a key piece that is missing is
somebody to take on the leadership role. The committee wants the event to continue. Mr. Wilson suggested that no
action be taken at this time; staff will discuss the event and come back to Committee with more information.
Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan
Ms. Hobday reported that this plan was adopted in 2003. FEMA requires that these plans be reviewed and updated
on a 5 year cycle in order to continue in the regional plan. King County Office of Emergency Management is the
lead agency for the regional plan. They have the responsibility of revising the plan. The first step is providing them
with a letter of intent that we will continue. There are two primary benefits to participating in the regional hazard
mitigation plan: 1) FEMA approved plans will have access to pre and post -mitigation grants_ 2) Eligibility to receive
post -disaster mitigation funds; this is in addition to the standard declared emergency disaster recovery funds.
Council member Park moved to approve the Resolution to continue participation in the Regional Hazard
Mitigation Plan of King County. Council member Ferrell seconded. Motion Passed.
Federal Way Police Department Response to Gang/Youth Violence
Interim Chief Hwang addressed what the Federal Way Police Department is doing in response to the increase in
gang violence. There has been an increase in gang violence in this region and in the Country. There were 83
homicides in King County last year. There were two Homicides in Federal Way in 2008 that were gang related.
These two incidents prompted the Police Department to reverse that trend. There has not been a gang related
homicide in 2009 in Federal Way. Interim Chief Hwang stated that what is different about gangs today is that they
are very mobile. No community is immune from gangs. There are 16 active gangs in the region. The King County
Police Chiefs have made a commitment to address gang and youth violence, and gang detectives are communicating
and sharing information. The decrease in gang/youth violence in Federal Way can be attributed to the following five
areas: 1) Restructuring the Organization, 2) Graffiti Abatement Program, 3) Safe City Program, 4) Special
Operations/Projects, 5) Targeted Enforcement. When looking at crime rate per capita, we are the 4`h safest city_
When looking at looking at Western Washington with a population between 50,000-100,000 people, we are rated the
2°d safest city. In 2009 index crimes for the 15` quarter are 1,172 this is the lowest 1st quarter index crimes we have
had in the history of the agency for the past 13 years
Agreement between Federal Way Police Department and Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority for
the PATROL Task Force
Interim Chief Hwang reported that the Federal Way Police Department received a grant in the amount of $800,000
from WATPA to work with other jurisdictions to reduce auto theft in our region. The team is made up of Auburn,
Kent, Bonney Lake, King County Prosecutors Office, Renton and Federal Way. Interim Chief Hwang stated that the
team is doing tremendous work along with other regional teams, and there has been a downward trend in our region.
The term of the Agreement is from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. The team is comprised of one Lieutenant, four
detectives and two employees from the King County Prosecutors Office.
Proposed Interlocal Agreement Regarding Distribution of Proceeds from the Sale of Bellevue Property and
Indemnification of Bellevue
Ms. Pearsall stated that this is to disperse funds from the sale of the property in Bellevue and will finance the
purchase of the property in Des Moines. Council member Ferrell moved to approve the proposed Interlocal
Agreement regarding proceeds distribution from the sale of Bellevue property, and authorize the Interim
City Manager to execute said agreement. Council member Park seconded. Motion Passed. The City's portion
of the purchase is a little bit over $900,000. Ms. Pearsall stated that they are hoping to purchase the property for the
South King County Jail Facility and start the grading soon.

REV. 09/2009
Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan
City of Federal Way Annex
2003 Initiatives Progress Report
1) Develop & implement programs to coordinate maintenance personnel response activities
during severe winter storm events.
The City developed a flooding "Hot Spot" list to enable timely mitigation activities
during times of heavy rain. The list also facilitates a rapid assessment approach in
determining distribution of response resources.
Public Works also developed an Employee Emergency Handbook. The handbook
contains policies and procedures related to severe weather response, an emergency phone
list, equipment list and various maps including a map identifying de-icing routes.
2) Develop a response plan to be implemented in the event of a surface water storage
facility breach, including property -owner notification and post -event assessment.
The Panther Lake EOP was updated to include notification procedures, downstream
mapping and affected structures, appropriate response to emerging conditions and
preventative actions. A similar EOP for Kit's Corner will be added to the 2009 mitigation
initiatives.
3) Adopt the International Building Code and evaluate additional building code application
for increasing the protection of life and property.
The IBC was adopted in 2004 and has implemented changes according to IBC
amendments. The City also complies with the Washington State Building Code.
4) Encourage seismic retrofitting in all structures including homes schools businesses and
Government offices.
In 2007 the City of Federal Way along with Home Depot and Lowe's sponsored a week
long focus on seismic retrofitting of homes and businesses. The week included talks and
workshops about how to secure water heaters, appliances and other seismic home and
office hazards. Federal Way City Hall was inspected to identify areas that could use
seismic retrofitting information was then passed on to the facility group to be included in
their maintenance schedule and monthly Safety Meeting.
5) Install backup generators in City Hall in order to maintain City services in the event of a
power outage and to ensure the City's EOC is able to operate if activation is required.
A 750kw backup generator was installed in 2004. In 2008 an additional 500gal diesel fuel
tank was added to increase generator run-time.
6) Increase public awareness and preparedness related to hazards within the local area as
well as increase participation in CERT.
The City currently schedules three CERT classes per year as well as offers a
neighborhood preparedness option and maintains a list of participating neighborhoods.
Additionally, the City's Emergency Management Department maintains City website
pages that include the publishing of various emergency plans, information regarding
hazard identification and response, the City's public warning system (CodeRed),
educational opportunities and more. The CodeRed system was incorporated in 2008 and
is now the City's primary public emergency notification system. The department also
publishes a monthly article in the local newspaper.
9) Map and identify locations around the City that are affected by repetitive or predicted
hazards.
The City has developed slide maps and de-icing maps as well as a Surface Water
Management "Hot Spot" checklist identifying locations that are prone to excess surface
water.

Mitigation Stratea
The City of Federal Way's Mitigation Strategy, Goals and Objectives support those noted within
the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan, including the incorporation of actions to 1) Protect Life
and Property, 2) Support Emergency Services, 3) Increase Public Awareness, 4) Preserve Natural
Systems and Resources, 5) Encourage Partnerships and b) Enhance Planning Activities.
Additionally, the City's Strategy will include:
1) The preservation of continuity of government, and responding to Community needs.

to Federal guidelines and requirements.
3) Educating the public, business and special populations on personal hazard mitigation and
emergency preparedness through a variety of media including classes, local newspaper
articles and the City's website.
2009 Implementation and Priority Levels
The 2009 Federal Way Annex will focus hazard mitigation initiatives on those hazards which
received a "High" or "Medium" probability of occurrence as noted within the City's Hazard
Identification and Vulnerability Assessment Table (HIVA Table). The City plans to place fu t"er
focus on hazards receiving a "Low" probability within the 2014 plan review. Additionally, the
hazard "Flooding" refers to localized urban flooding within the City of Federal Way.
Initiatives
Mitigation initiatives were developed to support the Regional Hazard Mitigation Goals and
Objectives. Each mitigation initiative was given a priority level of low, medium or high based
on benefit -cost review, using recommended models as provided within the FEMA "How -To
Guide: Using Benefit -Cost Review in Mitigation Planning." High priority levels were given to
mitigation initiatives that have high benefit cost ratio and committed funding or high chance of
receiving funding.
Medium priority levels were given to mitigation initiatives that have high benefit cost ratio with
low -medium chance of funding.
Low priority levels were given to mitigation initiatives that have low benefit cost ratio and low
chance of funding.
